Lu M., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on March 13, wrote, "I tried the shrimp tempura and crispy fish guabao. It was amazing! Basically two fluffy bao buns of heaven filled like a sandwich/taco. My first bite, I wished I ordered more."

Yelper Erika .. added, "Definitely worth stopping by. The food was delicious and for $7 it was inexpensive and filling. The buns were so soft and flavorful. The people who work here are also super friendly. 10-out-of-10 would recommend."
